Do NOT get a Yorkie.

Why does it matter as long as .223 doesn't sound like .270 or .308 or 30-06

Parents are immigrants from India so they were telling me when teaching me Hindi "it doesn't matter if your pronunciation is off as long as it doesn't draw red flags as to what you're trying to say"

I guess I'm one of those crazy conservatives

Before my dad started his business and my mom found a job as a doctor (was doing residencies for surgery) and we didn't have much money and I was 4 my dad would put the guns in a box and duct tape it shut and say if I opened it all a clown would jump out and steal all my toys. But then he eventually bought a safe when my little brother was born LOL and recently upgraded.

Now that I think back that was a horrible idea on his part but thankfully he taught me to respect firearms since I knew we had them but no clue where.

Edit: call me crazy but I think any smart kid who you can trust who is 10+ should have in-home access god forbid he ever needs it.

I have been blessed with not liking Browning guns somehow so my pockets are safer than they would've been otherwise. The thing I love more about duck than deer hunting (what I've done ever since I was very little) after hunting duck once is that when hunting deer you're like, shoot I didn't get any today, while with duck you're like, shoot I just shot my limit.

Edit: wait I'm about to call up the shop owner you might be right.

I looked up the model number and it came up on Gander Mountain (I've heard of it but there isn't a local one) listed as semi-auto as well but I'll check gimme a sec.

So I hunt deer and do some coyote pest control but I don't do any duck hunting. However last season I went duck hunting with a friend from school and liked it a lot! Because the season just ended, there are of course good sales on firearms. I decided to order a Mossberg 535 ATS Waterfowl Semi-auto 12 gauge. It looks like a good gun from the reviews and I know Mossberg makes great guns from what I've heard. Would just like to hear from those of you who have or have owned this gun, or if you would recommend something that's a lot better as I can still cancel the order before tomorrow.

Also bought some necessary equipment that was on sale too!

I´m in western NC, don´t feel like giving specific details. I know guys who pick it. It's only legal like 4 full months every year round here, and it's possible to make good amounts of money. I've gone picking with my friend once. Between a few people we picked $500 worth in a day. It's quite boring on your own as you would imagine, but if you split between several people, you're not making much. So you might make $300 a day for 4 months, but it's not feeding you for the next 8. I wouldn't consider it making bank, but it's making some good spending money.

EDIT: well now that I think about it, western NC doesn't sum up jack, I live in Boone.

This is our baby, 2012 SR5 4WD, bought it January of 2012.

We almost purchased a Limited 4Runner, until we realized that we could fully load the SR5 for basically the same as a stock Limited, and we didn't even like the Limited rims so it works out.

^ Just a thought when looking for one.

But back on the original question, we also have a 2WD 07 Suburban and AWD '11 Yukon Denali. I guess you can somewhat compare the two, we definitely like the Denali much better.

If you don't need the off-road capabilities, and don't have to worry about snow due to NOLA hardly ever getting any, I honestly think you don't really have a need for the AWD, and you would be better off saving money by purchasing the 2WD. And I'll point out right here, you're right about the MPG, we average roughly the same in 2WD and 4WD on the Runner, so 2WD and AWD is probably about the same too.

EDIT: AWD would be better for the Boat, but if you don't pull it all the time, you could manage with the 2WD
